2006 Mac Pro or brand new Mac mini??

Hi all

Refreshing my home office - can't go for anything ostentatious so I was going to ask for a brand new mac mini to replace the one I have at the moment. However, I have an alternative - I can grab well looked after 2006 model 'quad core' Mac pro with 4Gb RAM and two dual head graphics cards. Not sure precisely what clock-speed the twin xeon processors are (between 2 and 3 GHz), but the box sure is sexy!

I guess in raw muscle stakes the mini would probably be faster, but it may be that the pro could still be better at running Logic if it needs to.

Opinions?

Steve
